Nelson Mandela

CNN PRODUCER NOTE Nigerian artist davidobi14 drew this picture of former South African president and civil rights icon Nelson Mandela, who has been unwell in hospital for several weeks. "I was inspired by the kind of person he is," he says. "He has been through a lot for his nation and Africa. Since he has been sick something kept telling me to make a sketch of him ... as a personal prayer to him." He spent around two hours drawing it before deciding to share it with the world. "He will always be in the heart of South Africans and all Africans," he says. "I believe their prayers and love will strengthen him day by day."- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
